page 2: her looks they faded and i love yous turned
page 5: Twice against the table
not enough blue
not enough you
crazy how long it's been
shut up and get back in
drive to safeway
spin round the parking lot
we hit a skateboarder
your hood covered your smile
i love you
i hope i don't see you again for a while.
her looks they faded and i love yous turned
she raked the leaves in her teacup
to an old friend you don't recognize
the sound turn it up
the sight turn it down
i'll cradle you to your grave
i'll always smell like aftershave
this is the way we'd behave
if we were monkeys like the ones in the zoo
oh come on now i still love you
or that's the hopeful thing she'd like him to sing
but he's yelling over the chord of his broken hearing aid
and threatening teenagers through decaying teeth
she remembers a day when she was six years old
she said she'd swim out to sea so that she'd never get old
but she was just a kid, and the sea was a pond
and the leaches sucked her toes
that's how circulation goes
playing old records and singing along
turn it up, she used to like this song.
i can eat concrete
when it's warm enough to walk these streets
gravity knows my game
i've got no reason to brave this cold
and everyone i draw down here looks so so old
life is laws and diagrams
and sometimes sex and war and christmas
suicide is such a hassel, just give up
settle down
and have some kids
i wasn't kidding
i'll clean houses by day and build them by night
if i could wake up right now i'd be alright.
stop indulging
refund my broken dreams
profound apathy
you're all kind of nuts
us kids falling from the trees
rock and bye bye bye
baby, save me, save me
a sable hurse and a nursery hymn
i wasn't afraid but i shook just for him
there was something in the mirror
you were talking slow
you were louder than the american prarie
i tucked in my eyeless dolls
and sang with my head under the bed
spiders crawled into my mouth
i guess this is done.
Twice against the table
Not like that
Peel opened a can or something
Tough luck was better than no luck
My enemies forgot I existed
I swallowed fire and nails
And when they came back up they were words
Without truth this girl is spoken
That's. this. there is no this.
Just lines that follow something I don't know
Tell me is it ugly? Can you see from over there?
The big caps want us lonely
But all I want is
To end this differently than all the others
But then I just wouldn't end it at all.
